fired back against accusations of anticompetitive behavior from rival

Tuesday. A company spokesman said in a prepared statement that Intel “strongly disagrees” with the accusation AMD made in a 48-page complaint filed in a U.S. Federal Court in Delaware this morning. In that complaint, Intel is accused of, among other things, taking punitive action against computer makers who used chips from AMD in their computer and server products. “Intel believes in competing fairly and believes consumers are benefiting from this vigorous competition,” Intel’s prepared statement read. “AMD has chosen, once again, to complain to a court about Intel’s success with a legal case full of excuses and speculation. Intel will respond appropriately to AMD’s latest complaint, and it committed to successfully resolving these issues in court.”
